I hope your week is going well! I have today off of work and am selecting fabrics for our game room window seat cushions and a roman shade for our kitchen window. Can't wait for share which fabrics I choose. One of the fabrics I'm considering is this Schumacher one. We have bamboo woven shades everywhere else, but I wanted a fun print for the ...

Painting Our Interior Doors
We're on our fourth house in 12 years and I've never painted our interior doors. I've seen it become more popular in recent years and was intrigued - especially when homes with mostly white walls had doors in shades of blue and gray. We recently had our entryway wallpapered in this Serena & Lily Priano wallpaper and the moment it was ...
Lincoln’s Room in Our New Home
I finally put the finishing touches on Lincoln's room and can't wait to share the full reveal today! The only items I'm missing are a piece of art above his dresser and the bamboo woven shades that have not arrived yet. One of my favorite things about this room is how light and bright it is. I contemplated painting the walls a very light ...
Our Weekday Routine: Work From Home Edition
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! We have been at home since March 14, with both Kevin and I working remotely and the kids being out of school. Needless to say, this has changed our day-to-day routines quite significantly and I've been wanting to share what our new normal looks like now that we've settled into this new reality. I've ...
Our New Home: What I Wish I’d Changed, Six Months Later
I have been so thrilled with the level of customization we got to do in our new home. From the built-ins in our game room to the shoe closet, to making our kitchen island larger and bringing cabinets to the ceiling, we truly got to create a home we love. Now that we have lived in our home for six months (!!!), I thought it would be fun to ...
Our New Curtains
We had curtains installed in our bedrooms yesterday and I'm delighted with how they turned out! Our home has 9ft ceilings throughout the upstairs, so we went with 108 inch curtains and had the hardware hung as close to the ceiling as possible, which was easier to do since we don't have crown moulding. By the way, there is a blog post all about ...

Design At Home: How to Hang Mirrors & Art with Oyster Creek Studios
Mirrors and art are one of my favorite ways to enhance our home. I love adding color through art and mirrors can really anchor a piece of furniture and reflect light into your space. One thing I've learned via years of reading design blogs is that there are right and wrong ways to hang art and mirrors (and even TVs!) and that most people make ...
Samsung Frame TV Review
In our last home (see our third home house tour here), we purchased a new 50-inch TV because our living room was smaller and we didn’t want a massive screen when the sofa was so close to the wall. We hung art around it to give the space more personality and add pops of color to our overall neutral space. Here are some photos from our previous ...
